Episode notes
Cultural Conflict Seen As Spiritual And Institutional Decay
- The hosts frame cultural crises (trans-related violence, DEI, moral collapse) as evidence of deeper spiritual and institutional decay.
- They argue cultural elites openly signal hostility to Christian values and say such forces can't coexist with a shared civic culture.
Rise Of Homogenized Corporate Branding
- Corporate rebrands often erase unique identity to maximize resale and appeal to a generic, utility-driven market.
- Jill Savage and Aaron McIntyre argue this trend creates a soulless, homogenized American corporate culture.
Third Places Vanish, Corporations Shift Aesthetic
